I kept at it and managed to get through the entire thing, eventually. this is quite the "demo" given that it's about as long as some full games already. it's a lot more fun when I'm not cranky and tired, though the encounter rate might be a little high. at least it makes it easy to just outlevel problems.

actually, on the same line it does seem weird for the player to be able to hit the higher ranks given how early in the story this probably is, but I'm guessing it's an artifact of this being a demo version of the game.

I want to enjoy this game more than I do; I had a blast during the early game after getting used to just the initial difficulty hurdle of the actual combat system, and it's cute as all get out. The vibes are just so good.

But after escaping the Sky Tower the Shapes start entering the main combat loop and it ends up fucking with my hyperfixation problems super bad. Many of the regular enemies in the forest area just bug the hell out of me due to the Shapes cluttering the screen, but this was something I could adapt to. Unfortunately, the boss of the zone seems likely to be a hard wall I just won't be able to get past because after a certain point I just... cease being be able to process what's going on. I can't keep up with the rate of Shape generation.

And like, Idunno, I'm just not having fun with this particular setup. It's just super frustrating, at least to me. Sorry.
